A brief History of HolzHacker Buben
writen by HHB_Knight
Originally created in September 2005, HHB took off the ground running with two fine gentlemen, Poprocks and Meer, at the helm. Starting out as the Teguilla Sunrise Clan, they respectfully changed their name in order not to compete with the well established clan, The Skull Collectors. After much debate and discussion the name HHB was decided upon. Holz Hacker Buben loosely translates from German into 'Bavarian lumberjacks' or 'wood-cutter guys'. The name HHB was particularly prudent as most of the clan's membership played the michi map or variations of it.
HHB grew by leaps and bounds in early 2006 becoming one of the largest active clans. Having the age old philosophy of "character over skill," HHB was a clan of dignity and class. Members from all parts of the globe and of all ages made HHB a very dynamic clan. A well structured chain of command system, with very respectable people involved, allowed HHB to run smoothly. Gaining popularity in the AoC community, Holz Hacker Buben was known for its great members who always showed respect in victory or defeat.
Sadly, in December 2006, when a few of the key clan members were inactive, a rash decision was made regarding the recruitment process leaving many unhappy. With so much animosity in the air, HHB fall apart as quick as it had grown. That is, until today.
Today is a new era for HHB. Today we stand strong once again. And today we ask you to join us in helping make HHB a place where people want to be. It is our aim to carry the traditions of HHB into the future so that there will always be a place or group of friends that will offer you gaming, good conversation or simply a place to "Have Good Times!"
